RC beam and column design for AS 3600

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I am trying to design a concrete framed structure in Robot and I am using the AS 3600 Australian code. I have it selected as a concrete code and the program allowns me to set up bar types and calculation types according to te code. However, when I select the bars and press the 'provided reinforcement for RC members' to take them into the RC module a window pops up with a note that says 'Columns/beams AS3600-2009 - Option not implemented yet'. 

Does that mean that RC members con not be designed using the Australian code?? How come I can select the code??

Please clarify as I am wasting a lot of time trying lots of things to make sure everything is properly set up.

Thanks.

Ramon

AS 3600 is supported for required reinforcement calculations only (it is not available for provided reinforcement generation).

Thanks Artur,

I pressume if I ask when will it be implemented there won't be a clear date yet, right?

Hope it comes soon. RSA 2017 maybe?

Cheers
